Another Country Great Gone...

    Donald Ray Williams is dead at 78 years of age. Stated cause was emphysema.

    One of the most recognizable country artists, he always wore the same denim outfit and beat up old hat. His voice was probably the most laid back of any traditional country artist. It is always relaxing to listen to his music while writing or otherwise working in my office. Of his 50 recorded songs, only 3 failed to make it to the top ten. Over a 60 year span, he had 47 recordings in the top ten. Quite an accomplishment.

    I am not a big fan of what passes for country music in today's market. I still prefer the traditional artists and play them all the time. I really don't even know the names of today's artists. I occasionally turn my truck radio on a "Country Station". So far, this has not lasted more than 10-15 minutes. Just isn't my cup of tea.

    Don Williams will be greatly missed...
